Pretty good but overpriced - Edit
I got the 3 piece drumsticks to-go this morning and they were pretty good. They were hot and the sauce was nice but the portions were WAY too small for 6 dollars

We deeply apologize for your experience with our pricing. As a small business situated in one of the most expensive locations in the USA, we are constantly striving to balance quality and affordability in our plant-based offerings. We genuinely regret if our efforts fell short for you.
Read moreRegarding the portion sizes of the drumsticks, we understand your disappointment. Unfortunately, these are provided by our distributor, and we are unable to modify their size, only enhance them with our signature sauces. We truly hope you’ll give us another chance to serve you better in the future!

Very processed but tasty - Edit
I enjoyed the meal but couldn’t finish it. Big portion! I had the gyro and drumsticks with buffalo sauce. They are liberal with their sauces! It was good but for me, it was highly processed and that came with a lot more sodium than I prefer. Recommend for people who like vegan meat and non vegan friends too.
Read morePros: It’s vegan!, Taste and sauce
Cons: Small space, Not very friendly

Excellent food on the go! - Edit
This place was so good we went out of our way for a second visit on our short trip in the city! The drumsticks are absolutely delicious. Great lunch or food on the go, truly the only con I found with this place is the lack of seating. Don’t come with the intention of dining in. I’ll be back again someday hopefully soon!
Read morePros: Fast service, Many menu options
Cons: Very limited seating

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We apologize for the lack of seating, as our dining room is very limited. We are mainly a take out establishment. I recommend walking down the block. There is a park with ample seating for you to enjoy our meal! Hope to see you again

The gyros and sweet potato fries were yummy and satisfying. Vegan gyros are hard to find. We had lunch one day, breakfast the next. Tried to have an evening milkshake but it had just closed.

good menu, tasty food - Edit
We were looking for something other than a vegan burger so popped into Vegan on the Fly. We ordered the gyro, not McChicken and a small mac n’ cheese. Th mac n cheese was saved for later because the sandwiches filled us up. The fro was excellent. I didn’t taste the chickenless sandwich but my daughter said it was great. Food was made fairly quickly. The veggies on the sandwiches were fresh. Sauce on gyro was great. Seating is limited- would recommend ordering and eating at Bryant Park.

Interesting dishes which are served hot and relatively quickly. Food menu is posted in several locations and there is a small area to wait or eat in the rear of the store. Didn't see a rest room though

Came back twice in one day! - Edit
I came here for lunch, and it was so good that I came back for dinner. Both times I had the falafel gyro sandwich. Both times it was fabulous.
Read moreWhen you get the food “for here” they still wrap the gyro up nicely, so I could pop it in my bag and walk to a nearby outdoor spot to eat. When you order “to go” they’ll give you a bag with handles.

My Sexy Go-To Hot Spot - Edit
(For those with a sense of humor)
Read moreVegan On The Fly represents everything right with the world, nestled into Manhattan’s quick and cool scene. The menu has an abundance of options from sandwiches, platters, and fries. There is a reward points system and for a good reason why. The food is bussin’ in terms of fixing your pregnant wife’s food cravings and getting your non-vegan friend to say “I do.”
There is a picturesque backdrop in the restaurant with a neon sign you can take pictures in front of. I’ve had the burger, soft serve ice cream, and Mac platter. The sauces they use are to die for.
The only issue is the crowded hallway when you walk in between customers ordering their food at the kiosk and the delivery ride share app goers coming in between each other. My tactic is to find a seat in the back and order from my phone to dine in.
This restaurant is considered a 10 out of 10 on the sexiness scale. Thanks for everything!
Pros: Comfort food, Aesthetic scenery , 100% vegan
Cons: Limited space, Menu items are sold out often, Nothing else

Pleasantly surprised - Edit
Vegan OTF was GREAT. I only tried two things, the Mac N Cheese and the drum sticks. Both were great. The mac n cheese was especially good. It was so rich, cheesy, and creamy and, of course, all vegan! The wait time was a little long, as you order at the window upon entry. They have a cool little seating area and a parklet as well.
